Strong battery performance (well ahead of Air models
A little behind Pros)

It's a bit thicker and heavier than the now defunct iPad Air 2. It lacks the stylus support
iOS is the best tablet plaftorm, Affordable starting price, Fast and reliable, Long battery-life
iPad Air 2 has a better display
New iPad 9.7-inch – Battery life Even though the iPad 9.7-inch has a bigger 32.9w battery, Apple still states it'll last the same 10 hours of video watching per charge as both iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro 9.7-inch. Apple's claims seem to match my own results...
Obviously the Pro is a better device. The display is much nicer under the fingers and features a higher-quality panel. It's faster, has superior cameras, advanced features such as Apple Pencil compatibility, lasts longer on a single charge, and you can ge...
Screen is rather reflective, No brand new features,
This feels very much like a bare-bones iPad update. It's Apple simply doing a bit of housekeeping: dropping the ‘Air' label, fitting in a fresh engine and streamlining a well-established product. There's nothing here that we've not seen before.However, th...

The iPad 2017 is an unexpectedly cheap offering, but one that is also generally low-specced and has a design that's mostly lifted from a product that's two and a half years old, and in some cases from one that's three and a half years old. It's all rather...
Cheaper than previous iPads, Strong performance, Generous storage options, Excellent battery life
Screen is a step back, Slightly thicker than the iPad Air 2
Apple has taken a sensible approach with the new iPad, sacrificing a fancy screen for a more attractive price point and some meaningful performance upgrades...
The 2017 iPad isn't Apple's usual big upgrade. Instead, it's aimed at owners of older iPads who want better performance and the latest software features. It's slightly disappointing that the screen isn't laminated and that the cameras aren't the best Appl...
Powerful and snappy in varied use cases, Slightly thicker body brings practical benefits, Price is ideal for newcomers and upgraders
Reflective and hollow-sounding display, Speakers still not up to much, Rear camera is merely OK
Read what you like into Apple's branding, but with this latest iPad being short of any modifier (Air! Mini! Pro! Just Buy It Already!), it feels like Apple's saying this is the iPad for almost everyone. If you want something smaller, buy a mini, and if y...

Cheaper price, Beautiful 9.7-inch screen, Easy to hold design
Thicker than the Air, Only A9 chipset, No 256GB version
The new iPad may not be the most innovative product Apple has ever created, but it's an upgrade on the iPad Air 2 and the new version makes for a fantastic option at an even lower price than iPads of years past...

We've heard this described as the iPad: Education Edition; you might also think of it as the iPhone 5c of Apple's tablet range. However you put it, this is an unexpectedly cheap offering, but one that is also generally low-specced and has a design that's...
